Palantir (PLTR) is the top-performing S&P 500 stock in 2025 despite high valuation concerns.
In 2025, the S&P 500 faced challenges but rebounded, reaching an all-time high by June. Palantir (PLTR) stood out with its defense-grade software and AI analytics, attracting investors seeking government ties. PLTR surged 73% YTD, outperforming the S&P 500. However, concerns arise due to its high valuation.
Palantir’s Q1 2025 earnings report revealed robust growth, with $884 million in revenue, a 39% YOY increase. U.S. revenue led the way, with commercial revenue up 71% and government revenue growing 45%. Adjusted net income rose to $334.4 million, prompting management to raise fiscal 2025 guidance to $3.89-$3.9 billion in revenue.
Analysts project Palantir’s EPS to climb 362.5% YOY in fiscal 2025. The stock has a consensus “Hold” rating, with a premium to the average price target. Yet, a Street-high target of $155 suggests potential for a 19% rise. Palantir remains a top performer in the S&P 500 in 2025.
